Caring for CDs and DVDs
Store your discs in their original containers to protect
them from scratches and keep them clean.
Do not bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive
Do not press the Eject button while the in-use indicator light is
glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or the drive.
Also, if the disc is still spinning when you open the disc tray,
wait for it to stop spinning before you remove it.
Never use a pencil to press the Eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
